In this context I do not understand Apple's thinking. It's also why my dev time is spent on the Microsoft Band, and won't be invested in the Apple Watch.

  The problem for this watch is that its technology will be outdated in a few years at which point it becomes merely a bit of bling. High end mechanical watches on the other hand are not solely time-keeping devices, but mechanical marvels and one of the few Veblem goods that a man can wear conspicuously.
